Jon Jones vs Gustafsson

[Heavy D]

Hell of a fight. If Gus was the champ, he'd have won the decision. But if you want to beat the champ via decision, it's gotta be 100% decisive, and it wasn't. I understand he was being cautious so as not to eat one of the champs unorthodox strikes, but he ate one anyways, and barely survived it.

Also, I was going crazy when Gus continually disengaged without a parting gift time and time again. I know he was afraid of the takedown, so didn't want to kick, but even just leave with a jab or something. He already had the cut there to work on. There are so many smaller things, that had he done just one or two, he could have stolen it. Hell, if he had ended every round with his hands raised like Jones did, instead of walking to his corner looking tired, we'd probably have a new champ.

Either way, this has really shaken up the division I feel. We've got a contender that deserves the belt in many people's minds, and a once invulnerable champ suddenly looking VERY human and very beatable.

He said that in an interview with (aftonbladet) a swedish newspaper and it was on other news last night. Yah, it's just an old saying.

It was a very close fight. I recorded it and watched it four times. IMO Jones took the first round and the last two. The first was close, but Gustafsson was definitely wilting the last two rounds. I think that and Jones' aggression was what pushed it in his favor. If you recall, the majority of the time it was Jones who was pressing forward and initiating the contact.
